This vine lit up the roadside it was so bright! This is along Media Luna Rd in Brownsville, right beside the expressway.
On another street I saw purple bouganvilla and a big old royal poinciana in full bloom but there was too much traffic to get a picture.
What a gorgeous sight to behold!
Susie, that is gorgeous! I have tried UMPTEEN times to grow this vine from seed, but no luck. It gets about 6" tall and keels over - no idea why.
Wow. Wish mine would bloom that good. It would probably bloom better if I planted it in the ground.
Susie-
great picture!
Too bad they are so invasive...

Ada, is yours getting enough sun?
Kay, didn't know they made seeds. I didn't stop to see if there were baby plants around, the traffic was bad there and nowhere to park.
Taylor, they sure are pretty when they flower. Such a bright yellow. They stick to everything and climb up in trees(or over the house) so that's bad.
Yes, I didn't want to trash them, and I could tell some stories, but I won't, lol...
I'll just say they are really pretty, but can really be a thug.
:0)
WOW! That is lovely!
You are right, the royal poncianas and bouganvillas are blooming everywhere you look. I've started taking the 'scenic route' to work when make the time to the house early.

Susie, it gets plenty sun. It would probably be better if it was planted in the ground instead of a pot. I don't think it's hardy for my zone.
that is beautiful.
